Buggy Boyz - Newest Buggy !!
Buggy Boyz - September 18th, 2002 at 08:50 AM

It is funny you know, I was sitting in my shed the other day looking at the Mega Manx working out what the next step would be and I thought " Man I am going to have to cut some corners to make sure this baby is ready in time " This idea did not sit real well with me as I have been building it for 3 years. After a few more moment of contemplation I decided a reserve plane was needed. So I found me a back up buggy :D
She is a 66 based Meyers Manx with IRS / King pin Disc brakes, 2" lift kit, mag wheels and a few other bits. She needs more power though so I reckon it will be moving a lot faster before Fraser. That is of course if the Mega Manx don't come togeather in time.

Did you bury one in you're back yard, and now they're flowering?????
I've never seen anyone find so many Manxes..

I noticed there wern't to many Qld boys at the Dunes last weekend? What goin on gents - NSW beaches too harsh for your buggies eh!

After some serious arm twisting I went to Straddie with Dazza. Why wasn't I at the Stockton run ? Well I am soft :)
I had 600km on my new engine and I wasn't about to drive 950 km to stocko then the nationals - then home again until I have had it on a Dyno to see how the top end is for fuel mixture. I will put it on when I hit 1500 km then after that I have no more excusses not to come out and play.
The suspension worked fine, much better after I tightened up the shockies :(

Yeh its such along drive from the central coast to Stockton :P


Buggy Boyz - May 12th, 2003 at 04:13 PM

Now I have my ricefactor pod filters I am more than happy to come out and play. I m off to Tonga for 2/1/2 months but hope to have a stocko run towards the end of the year. Dates to be published after the AGM on 31st May 03.

As for real dunes.... I grew up not far from Stocko, ( North Arm Cove area ) and spent many many weekends surfing and destroying buggies and 4wd's on there. It is a hoot and I hope to be back there again soon.

I am counting on all you NSW guys in your street buggies to be there and show is toads how to play on the dunes though as it has been quite a while since I got of our great sunny beaches and played on your wet , misserable and windy dunes. I will be packing my rooof for that trip :P
